Re: Is Obama an Anarchist ???

Okay, John.....lets play your concern out.  So....someone goes to Hawaii, checks out Obama&#39;s birth certificate and finds it to be false,  then what do we do?   <BR> <BR>Joe Biden would probably be the man who would step in to take Obama&#39;s place.  Would Obama resign in disgrace?  Would we push fo McCain, who wasn&#39;t able to win the election?   <BR> <BR>I know!!  We&#39;ll put Sarah Palin in.  Well, no.  She couldn&#39;t even finish out her term in Alaska. <BR> <BR>Hey, maybe you would step in.  At least we know you have a US birth certificate.  Yep, that would work.  I&#39;ll vote for you.

So John, maybe you could write an article, and a trip to Hawaii to check it out would be tax deductible.  Dareya!

Re: Is Obama an Anarchist ???

there are three types of people in the world of business, maybe even politics... <BR> <BR>1&#41;  probably by far the minority are those who are so naive as to be honest because they do not know any better!!!  or were raised very religious, and don&#39;t want to go to ell if their Bud is not there. <BR><img src="http://www.atomorrow.net/discus/messages/14/1798.jpg" alt=""> <BR>Or have made a decision that its better to be honest and forthright because they are not good liars, and will be found out later anyway. <BR> <BR>we can deal with them, tho sometimes it takes a bit of splaining to get them to understand. <BR> <BR>2&#41;  the out and out dishonest and aggressive, who tell you how and what they do....the Donald Trumps and Tony Soprano&#39;s of the world, who notify you that their money is in your pocket, and here is how they propose to take it. <BR> <BR>You can still deal with the devil, when you know whom you are dealing with. <BR> <BR>3&#41; unfortunately, the majority of folks are somewhere in between.... the tricky Dicks and Billsters of the world who will profess to be honest while seeing how they can get/take advantage over you yet deny that they have been <BR>doing wrong <BR><img src="http://www.atomorrow.net/discus/messages/14/1799.jpg" alt=""> <BR> <BR>right now I can&#39;t think of enuf politicians who fit #1,  but we all know a lot of them who do number 2 all over us..... and you don&#39;t know which ones are real... <BR> <BR>at least if we proved O to be as unreal as some believe, then we would at least know we are dealing with a third rate type who claims to do and be #1 while doing #2 to us.

Re: Is Obama an Anarchist ???

We probably just buried one of the last honest politicians:  he didn&#39;t need the money, he was assured of the votes; he spoke against greed and was for the common man; and realized that &#34;Rome wasn&#39;t built in a day&#34; and was willing to gradually and incrementally introduce change.  May we continue what he so valiantly fought for. <BR> <BR>Barney Frank is another outspoken politician who dared to call this idiot lady&#39;s bluff when she huffed about &#34;Nazis.&#34;  Would there were more like him who called things as they are, and not like McCain who didn&#39;t correct the crazy person who made insane claims about Obama or the healthcare.  Did anone publicly correct the idiot senior citizen who yelled &#34;Keep the government hands off my Medicare&#34;--he should be sent to the looney bin,.

<b><font size="+1">The End of the Kennedy Era</font></b> <BR> <BR>To whom has the torch been passed--all that he accomplished in his lifetime is a legacy few will be capable or willing to try.  He had nothing to lose:  not money, nor position, nor worldly recognition, but just the fight for those less fortunate.  Their father made his money during Prohibition running booze, but he, along with, and probably more influential their mother, Rose, instilled in the family that to whom much had been given, much more should be returned, and they lived constantly with that motto.  <BR> <BR>The rights of the oppressed wherever:  the disabled, blacks, women, and those denied the opportunities with which they had been so abundantly blessed, Ted sought to  restore to those less fortunate.  We will not soon see his likes again.

Re: Is Obama an Anarchist ???

There is no one, who doesn&#39;t have skeletons in his closet.  It is the one who proves by his life that he has overcome them, rather than wallowing in them.  Yes, all public figures have feet of clay, some more so than others.  Just as we do not judge a book by its cover but its contents, we should do that with people.   <BR> <BR>We have a choice:  we can focus on all the bad experiences of his life, and that will be non-productive; the other choice is to focus on the good that someone has accomplished so that it eventually will outlast the bad.  It&#39;s a choice we all make of others; would that we are judged equally.   <BR> <BR>Would you prefer to be remembered at your passing of the worst episodes of life, or the better.  It&#39;s a choice we all make.
